About me
Selena Scott is a Cambridge based artist whose work boldly redefines the portrayal of Black identity across oil painting, film, textiles, and animation. Through her deeply researched and emotionally resonant oil portraits, she challenges historical narratives by centering Black people in their full humanity and complexity.
Grounded in historical archives and spoken stories, Scott's practice explores themes of trauma, racism, and colonialism, all rooted in her Caribbean heritage. Her work is both an act of reclamation and a powerful invitation to look again at whose stories get told and how.
